Sustainable Fashion: Project Recycling T-Shirts

After just mentioning the unsustainable fashions my daughter selected for back-to-school clothes, which she really needed but were definitely not eco-friendly, it is refreshing to feature a truly sustainable apparel item with a message.

Americans produce 500 billion pounds of trash each year

Yikes, that’s a lot of trash!

Project Recycling is reducing the landfill of plastic waste through design.

Our eco-friendly t-shirts are made from 50% organic cotton and 50% recycled PET plastic, the same type of plastic water bottles are made from. In fact, each shirt contains approximately three 20oz water bottles inside!

Combining this with a recycling themed design is a match made in heaven. Each t-shirt uses a recycling fact, a disturbing truth about the overuse of our resources, as theme. For example, our first t-shirt is themed “500 Billion Pounds”, that’s the amount of waste we as Americans produce each year.

Of that, only 34.1% is recycled or composted. That rest, around 330 billion pounds is incinerated or landfilled. Our eco-friendly t-shirts are meant to be educational, yet contain a bold statement, but also casually designed so you can wear it on a normal basis.

We were sent a t-shirt, and it is very soft. It has a classic fit, and it is sure to be a favorite! The shirt is made in Nicaragua.

I look forward to seeing more t-shirts from Project Recycling in the future, perhaps some designs for women and children will follow!
